I don't doubt there was an element of back pedalling from NC and that he had to manage the situation after a bullish decision, I'm not an NC phile but the national media joke thing in it's fullest context is nonsense, it did us far more good than harm and that's my point we don't need to jump on the press bandwagon, not saying we have to repel the media just manage it, we're in the driving seat, not them

Cork, Lee, Lambert, Lallana and Morgan keep 'em fit and improving and by golly they'll be the envy of many a team

slightly polarised view to one end of the spectrum and in most carries some merit but 'c*cked up' and 'national joke' I beg to differ

interesting indeed, carefully managing this scenario puts in the driving seat

was he media savvy or back pedalling, I'll concede it may of been a bit of both but defo less of the latter

anybody I call worthy of their interest in our club would see right through that "South Coast Club" thing - that's called being media savvy, no such thing as negative press - although I doubt it was that engineered

lol - but you know we'll find something else to continue the excuse of a few before during and after *hic*

He'll put his 2 penneth in at some point I'm sure

agree being media savvy is king but that can also include not always keeping them onside, treat 'em mean keep 'em keen if you like - as for the echo they have far more to gain from it than us

agree but it didn't do us no harm and as for the top journos wanting their bellies rubbed, too what end, really

They'll be no big name charlies, relatively unknown talent ripe for progressing will be where we're at - what about Rudi Skacel

I don't think anyone thinks that - you presuming that will be the outcome from not courting the media?

This, this and this

Refreshing isn't it

Look at Coventry, their owners have invested a similar amount over albeit a slightly longer time - we are very well placed, with diligent and intelligent owners and I expect us to become some sort of benchmark in the coming years what with the new rules coming into place, the futures bright............

Think about it Turtle, the media need access

The media need to keep us onside me thinks On a less inciting tone it looks to me that NA is very much a closed book especially compared to media hoare Harry, NA is dignified and respectful but can't help feeling he's a little irratated by it all to say the least

fkin great, we're starting to reel in all the non believers who could not cope with the lower league - it's ok you can come back to the fold now

lol not at you but west ham - woe is me

I really think the likes of Swansea, Norwich and us have hit a sweet spot at the right time, well run clubs, sustainable and good upcoming managers. Hoping it's a new era where managers and teams form long partnerships oh and can we have Surman back

Not really kid friendly, went to the 2003 one and twas a great evening what with the FA Cup final and all, wish I had the spare spondoolies to go this year, will be a bit special

Here we go with the usual suspects in need of some love and attention

I agree, just throwing it out there as the only reason we'd get another sponsor - plus I expect we have some sort of tie in with aap above and beyond just cash

pays more money?

Did they sing OWTS too fast
